Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
The year 2004 in pop music brought equal parts protesting and dancing. Today, New York Times critic Kelefa Sanneh weighs in on a year that saw noteworthy comebacks (from U2 to Eminem) and blockbuster breakouts (Kanye West). As Sanneh recently wrote of the rapper-producer, “[West] chuckles at his own endless supply of shameless jokes. There's only one sensible response: Join him." Also on the show: Billboard columnist Anastasia Tsioulcas weighs in on the year’s highlights in World Music.
